Abstract

The invention relates to an elastic sheet material having a front side, a rear side opposite the front side and at least one functional element, which is arranged on the front side and is connected to the sheet material. A limiting element for limiting the elasticity of the sheet material is arranged on the rear side of the sheet material opposite the functional element and/or on the front side underneath the functional element or within the sheet material underneath the functional element.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An elastic sheet material with a front side, a rear side situated opposite the front side, and at least one functional element arranged on the front side and connected to the sheet material, wherein a limiting element for limiting the elasticity of the sheet material is arranged on the rear side of the sheet material opposite the functional element and/or on the front side below the functional element or inside the sheet material below the functional element. 
     
     
         2 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein the limiting element has an outer contour which corresponds to the outer contour of the functional element or encloses the outer contour of the functional element. 
     
     
         3 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein the limiting element is materially bonded to the sheet material. 
     
     
         4 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein it is in the form of a textile. 
     
     
         5 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein the limiting element is in the form of a film, adhesive layer, inelastic textile, penetrating element with projection, conductive textile, band, cable or sensor. 
     
     
         6 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of limiting elements are arranged separate from one another on the sheet material. 
     
     
         7 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein the limiting element has a flexible form. 
     
     
         8 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional element is applied, in particular in the form of an elastomer element, to the sheet material by an additive production process. 
     
     
         9 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional element is in the form of a spring, rail, stiffening element, component receptacle, duct, hook, sensor mount, cable guide, cable, conductor, clip element, clasp, zip fastener, protector, sensor, cushion and/or air cushion. 
     
     
         10 . A bandage made of a sheet material of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         11 . The bandage according to  claim 10 , wherein the bandage has a sheath-like form with a closed cross section or is formed from a sheet-like basic body with connecting devices arranged at opposite end regions. 
     
     
         12 . A method for producing a sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional element is connected to the sheet material and at least one limiting element is introduced between the functional element and the sheet material and/or on that side of the sheet material which is situated opposite the functional element, and is connected to the sheet material, and in that the limiting element at least lessens the elasticity of the sheet material. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein the functional element is applied to the sheet material or the limiting element in an additive production process. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein the limiting element is connected to the sheet material over its entire surface area. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional element is arranged inside the outer contour of the limiting element. 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the limiting element is materially bonded to the sheet material. 
     
     
         17 . An elastic sheet material, the sheet material having:
 a front side;   a rear side situated opposite the front side; and   at least one functional element arranged on the front side and connected to the sheet material;   wherein a limiting element for limiting the elasticity of the sheet material is materially bonded to the rear side of the sheet material opposite the functional element and/or on the front side below the functional element or inside the sheet material below the functional element, the limiting element having an outer contour which corresponds to an outer contour of the at least one functional element.   
     
     
         18 . The sheet material according to  claim 17 , wherein the limiting element has a flexible form. 
     
     
         19 . The sheet material according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional element is applied, in particular in the form of an elastomer element, to the sheet material by an additive production process. 
     
     
         20 . An elastic sheet material in the form of a textile, the sheet material having:
 a front side;   a rear side situated opposite the front side; and   at least one functional element arranged on the front side and connected to the sheet material;   wherein a plurality of limiting elements for limiting the elasticity of the sheet material are materially bonded to the rear side of the sheet material arranged separate from one another on the sheet material opposite the functional element and/or on the front side below the functional element or inside the sheet material below the functional element, the limiting element having an outer contour which corresponds to an outer contour of the at least one functional element.
